Some Homeowners Prefer a Glass Fireplace Screen
Although a mesh curtain is the most common choice for homeowners with fireplaces, a glass fireplace screen is worth considering for your home. These units allow you a better view of the flames because they’re more transparent than mesh. Glass screens do a much better job of keeping smoke and soot heading up the chimney instead of into your living room. And if you have inquisitive pets or small children, glass is by far your better choice for its superior safety features. Although you might miss the sound and scent of a crackling fire in your fireplace, you’ll find some distinct advantages in a glass covering over the opening.
